Unlikely, since that's pretty much invisible to user code.

I can't really answer that, but I can quote previous responses from Rainer:

"Don't use socket_timeout.  Use version 1.2.28 and socket_connect_timeout."

More information:

And more detail:

"socket_timeout is a difficult beast and I generally do not recommend using it. 
mod_jk uses it in some special situations in order to be able to abort waiting 
for data. It is not directly 'how long a socket will be kept open'. How long a 
socket is kept open depends on how the socket gets used.

"Usually you can get away pretty good using CPing and ping_timeout, 
socket_connect_timeout, eventually reply_timeout with max_reply_timeouts."
